A court has set two review dates to receive updates on the health of Lady Eleanor Donaldson.
She is due to stand trial in November with her husband, ex-Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, on historical sex offence charges.
Sir Jeffrey, 62, is accused of 18 offences, including one count of rape.
Lady Donaldson, 59, faces five charges relating to aiding and abetting.
